🎉 Happy National Reading Month! 🎉

March is a special time dedicated to celebrating the joy of reading and honoring the timeless legacy of Dr. Seuss, a true champion in children’s literacy!

Did you know that Dr. Seuss books are not only fun to read but can be powerful tools in language therapy? Their silly words and playful rhymes provide the perfect opportunity to incorporate phonological awareness skills during sessions or in shared storybook time at home! 🗣️💬📖

So, let's celebrate National Reading Month together and honor Dr. Seuss's legacy by sharing the magic of his books with everyone around us! 🎉 🎩✨

“Every aspect of oral language contributes to the child’s growing understanding of words and her ability to use and understand written text.” - Maryanne Wolf, Proust and the Squid.

We love this quote from Maryanne Wolf because it reminds us just how crucial oral language skills are for literacy development!

As SLPs, we’re passionate about fostering these early language abilities that pave the neuropathways for future success in reading and writing.

Maryanne Wolf’s work has been instrumental in understanding dyslexia, reading, and the brain. Wolf’s book, “Proust and the Squid: The Science of the Reading Brain,” is a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the history and neuroscience of reading and understanding the neurobiological connections of language and literacy! 📖🧠

Part 2 ✌️of our conversation with Kate and Amy from is out today!  Listen in as we discuss strategies for integrating into your existing practices.
